Judge rejects states’ bid to block Medicaid work rules
A federal judge denied 25 Democratic-led states’ request to block Medicaid work requirements, requiring states to meet a Jan. 1 deadline. The rule mandates that Medicaid recipients in 42 states and the District of Columbia work, attend school, or volunteer 80 hours monthly to retain coverage, with states arguing the new exemptions for medically frail individuals are too narrow and costly.
